I hope Lievje is allright, and the little one.

Dragonlady- you're welcome anytime !
Eric- How do you like your sotd ? I've been curious about it.
Twolfie- could you elaborate on Aki ?
I've been thinking about it lately, wondering how FBW it is.
[If it's like the Teo Cabanel Alahine- then the answer is a resounding yes!]

SOTD is Burnt Amber- mod # 3, with yummy ambers, incense, plum blossom, elemi, cinnamon.
I could wear it for days [ and I think I have...]

Re: SotD Sunday 16 December

Several hours ago I started my day in SL's Cedre for the first time. I read the reviews that likened it to chewing gum and I can agree with that. Chewing gum is repugnant to me in any form, so I wanted it gone.

In tandem with that is a boozy note reminiscent to my nose of the beer smell you get when you walk past a pub. Now, I love that walking-past-a-pub smell, but only if it is fleeting. I don't want to carry it around on my person.

So, in the end Cedre had to go. I scrubbed it away and needed to replace it with something lively. I'm now wearing Gres Cabotine. It is alright, doesn't set my heart racing, but it will suffice while I spend the rest of the day indoors writing reports. I will change scent this evening though I'll still be here in the same place with my dreaded reports.

I was wearing Calèche during the day. I went to sleepy old pharmacy and found a bottle of Femme Rochas - Eau de Cologne and a bottle of Amazone (original) by Hermès. Both of the boxes look crummy and vintage. I think I just hit the jack pot.

Slipping back into my no. 5.
the velvet body cream has renewed my experience of its atmospheric loveliness.

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."
